Questions we get about getting a bunny to Florida
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
Getting to Florida: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Florida is 2,400 to 2,700 miles out, 3 days on the road with the stops counted in. Florida heat and humidity are the hardest conditions we deliver into. Summer runs go overnight, the vehicle stays cool the whole way, and we will delay rather than move a rabbit through a heat advisory.
By your own car, about 41 to 47 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a French Lop to Florida
Florida is 2,400 to 2,700 miles from us, 3 days on the road. The run is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service, in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops for water and a check. Your bunny goes by road the whole way: never flown, and never shipped as cargo.
What this breed's size means for the journey. This is the one where distance genuinely matters. A 10lb rabbit needs a large carrier, more water stops and more airflow, so a long run takes more planning and we will talk you through it honestly before agreeing a date.
Florida weather, and this breed
Florida heat and humidity are the hardest conditions we deliver into. Summer runs go overnight, the vehicle stays cool the whole way, and we will delay rather than move a rabbit through a heat advisory.
A large body sheds heat slowly, which makes the French Lop the most heat-sensitive of the four on a long journey. Summer deliveries to the southern half of the country are overnight only, and we will move a date rather than push one.
French Lops ready for Florida now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If one of these has gone by the time you write, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a French Lop in the South
The pairing we are most cautious about of all thirty-two. A 10lb rabbit sheds heat slowly and Southern humidity removes the cooling mechanism. A French Lop in Louisiana, Mississippi or Florida is viable only in a properly cooled house, and we would rather talk you out of it than sell you one that struggles.
Size. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit. Care. Size drives everything. A French Lop needs a much larger enclosure than people expect, and sore hocks from hard flooring are the common problem, so soft bedding is a requirement rather than a nicety. Nails monthly and a proper look over the back end weekly, because a rabbit this size cannot always reach.
What it gets mistaken for. Confused with the Flemish Giant, which is larger again, and with an overweight Mini Lop. A French Lop is large by breed rather than by feeding. Everything about the French Lop.

Finding a rabbit vet in Florida
Do this before the rabbit arrives, not during an emergency. Rabbits are exotics to most practices, and a vet who sees them regularly is a different proposition from one who will. Ring round and ask directly how many rabbits they see in a month.
It matters more than the breed you pick. A French Lop with a good local vet does better than any rabbit without one.
